I just got Fred Frith's "Clearing" CD in the mail yesterday and Wow, it's quite good... Solo guitar and totally unique... Very little distorted guitars on the album... more of an acoustic sound with a sampler and some other effects (and overdubing)... One of the tracks is dedicated to Bill Frisell... Overall, I find the recording well worth the $$$, and as with almost anything Frith does, I'm sure it'll stand up to repeat listenings... This is the record of a mature musician with a refreshingly unique voice... Check it out...

"cool" camera tricks for his next film (I hope it can be called such)."
I read somewhere that his next film (or one of them) is a live-action
adaptation of the popular (in the us, at least) children's animated
television show, 'batman beyond'. However, i also note that Variety
reports he's attached to direct 'batman: year one', the fifth installment
in the already established live-action batman franchise. whatever the
case, i think he may pull it off nicely, even with (or because of) the
tricks. nicely in comparison to other action-adventure movies, that is.

I always recommend "Music For Bondage Performance 2"
which is on Extreme. It's still in print as far as
I know. Most tracks fall in the 4-6 minute
range so it easily digestable and you get a nice
variety as well. So it's not just one big long
monster track like some of his releases. The music
is in the industrial/power electronic vein, as
opposed to his "junk" music type stuff. That
said, there is one 30 minute ambient piece at the
end which is more subdued than the rest of the album,
and seems like a left over from "Music for
Bondage Performance 1".
Another good one might be the Merzbow sampler, also
on Extreme. The difference here is that this one
covers 20 years of material, so you get a good
overview of the different types of stuff he has
done over the years. Again, most tracks aren't too
long, with some being excerpts of tracks which are
